Paying It Forward: National Stamp Out Hunger Day May 14 2011!
Did you know today is the LARGEST single day food drive in the country? When you combine the nation's food banks with the power of the U.S. Postal Service's letter carriers, you've got QUITE the significant labor force for collecting food!
So here's your part: BEFORE your mail pickup today, bag up some non-perishable food. Place it by your mailbox. Leave it there. It's THAT simple! Your letter carrier will collect the food, it gets combined with other donations and redistributed to LOCAL food banks, pantries, etc. to help your neighbors in need. And there are LOTS of neighbors in need.
Things may look fine on the outside, but these tough times have hit hard in places you'd never expect. So got a few cans of something you can spare? Our bag is at the mailbox now, and even Sage the cat agreed to donate a can of her tuna fish!
A quote from our friend in North Carolina: "I do not share my stories of paying it forward for recognition. I share them so that others might be inspired to do what they can, when they can, where they can. No more, no less." Tish Lloyd, North Carolina REALTOR®
